This is because the weight of the battery can cause the car to be heavier in some cases and they also deliver torque instantly. Hard acceleration or unnecessarily pushing hard into a turn should also be avoided.
It used to be the case that all automatic gearboxes were all, more or less, the same and operated in the same way, offering the same features.
